Publishing Insiders Reveal Exactly How to
Get Your Book Published and Succeed as an Author

Dear Writer,

Writing a book is hard. Getting it professionally published and into the hands of readers who need to hear your message is harder still.

With over 15,000 new books published every year in English alone, publishing may be the most competitive industry on the planet. If you want your work to get the attention it deserves, simply writing a decent book is not enough. You also need to understand the hidden world of the book business, and learn what actually separates those books that make it from those that don’t.

As a mainstream publishing house with thousands of books in the market and over 30 years of experience, we know exactly what it takes to succeed in this highly competitive industry.

For the first time ever, we have agreed to share this hard-won knowledge with a small group of writers in a practical, hands-on online course that is open for new members now. If you are no longer willing to leave the success of your book to chance, then join us on this program where you will be able to get your questions answered and discover exactly how to...

• Write a nonfiction or children's picture book that conveys your message in a compelling way that will stand out from the crowd
• Edit your book with a professional eye, so you sharpen your prose, impress editors and delight readers
• Get the manuscript you have already written published by a reputable publishing house (while avoiding 'vanity' publishers and self-publishing scams)
• Pitch yourself to the industry you're in and leverage your book to get speaking gigs, media appearances and advance your career
• Market your existing book so that it finally gets the sales and attention it deserves by understanding how to manage the 'gatekeepers' who control access to mainstream media and high street bookstores
• Succeed at the business of being an author, making deals with publishers that pay off, and finding new opportunities in the marketplace that you may have missed

This online training program gives you personal support and insights directly from our leading publishing executives who know exactly what it takes to succeed as an author in the real world. It’s part writing course, part business course, part no-holds-barred guide to breaking through into the closely guarded inner circle of writers who actually make it.

If you’ve ever walked through the aisles of a bookshop and thumbed through the titles on display, wondering “what do they have that I don’t?” then this course will give you the answers.

Here’s how Exisle Academy Home Study Works…

Starting the moment you sign-up and then each month for three months, you will be emailed lessons that give you advice that distils decades of publishing wisdom into practical and digestible modules. These punchy, highly practical lessons will be easy for you to open and read on any device (laptop, PC, smartphone, Kindle etc).

You will also be connected with our senior publishing executives through our monthly mailbag - you’ll be able to ask your questions at any point during your membership of the course, which will be answered directly by our most senior publishing team members in a monthly article. A fantastic opportunity to get expert advice on the highest level to help you in your publishing journey!

At the end of the course, we will post you a Certificate of Completion attesting to the fact that you have been trained by leading publishing executives on both the creative and business sides of being an author. As the training modules will show, publishers love it when you can show them that you have done your homework!

As a valued member of our community of accomplished and aspiring authors, you will no longer be facing this journey alone. We will give you life-long access to local events such as book launches and networking groups in your area, and will be right there with you to help you reach your goals as a writer.

Your Exisle Academy Home Study Subscription Lasts Three Months - But You Can Cancel Earlier if You So Choose. 

Here's the not-so-small print:

You will be billed once now, and then once per month for the next two months, for a total of three payments. You will receive your new material at the start of each month. If at any point you do not wish to continue, you can cancel at any time. In the extremely unlikely event that you are not fully satisfied with the level of material and instruction you receive, you can claim a full refund of your first month’s payment if you let us know within 15 days of sign-up. Please note, while we crafted these materials with the greatest of care drawing on our 30 years of publishing experience and in consultation with aspiring authors of non-fiction and illustrated children’s books, publishing is a complex and highly competitive field and we make no guarantees of any kind whatsoever. We are providing you with the benefits of our experience and industry knowledge, but ultimately your success as an author is down to you.
